PRECAUTIONS
Temperature
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between
+60°C (+140°F) and –10°C (+14°F) before turning your
unit on.
Tape Slack
Check and make sure any slack in the tape is taken up
before inserting the tape into the unit. A loose tape can get
caught in the mechanism and cause damage to the unit
and the tape itself. Tighten the tape by inserting a pencil
or a similar instrument into the spindle hole and turn until
all the slack has been taken up.
Excessively Thin Tape
C-120 type cassette tapes are not recommended for use in
automobile tape players.
ALPINE TDM-9501RM 68P01434K82-O
 Precision Tape Mechanism
Prevent any foreign objects from entering the cassette
opening as the precision mechanism and tape head may be
damaged.
Never play dirty or dusty tapes – they can damage the tape
head.

Tape Head Cleaning

EN
Periodic cleaning (approximately every 20 hours of use)
of the tape head with a wet type head-cleaning cassette
tape (available at audio stores) is necessary for best
performance.

Fuse Replacement
When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of
the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the
fuse blows more than once, carefully check all electrical
connections for shorted circuitry. Also have your vehicle's
voltage regulator checked.

Maintenance
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit
yourself. Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest
Alpine Service Station for servicing.

Installation Location
Make sure the TDM-9505RB/TDM-9503R/TDM-
9501RM/TDM-9501R will not be installed in a location
subjected to:
• Direct sun and heat
• High humidity and water

precautions may result in fire.
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR
STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND
CONNECTIONS.
Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or
any other safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER
be used for installations or ground connections. Using
such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause
fire etc.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire
or product damage.
CAUTION
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL
THEM SECURELY.
Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of
other than designated parts may damage this unit
internally or may not securely install the unit in place.
This may cause parts to become loose resulting in hazards
or product failure.
20-EN
7/20-24 (EN) TDM-9505RB 20
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH
MOISTURE OR DUST.
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence
of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into
this unit may result in product failure.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR
PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.
Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like
the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent
crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes
through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent
the wire's insulation from being cut by the metal edge of
the hole.
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY
EXPERTS.
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special
technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always
contact the dealer where you purchased this product to
have the work done.
Precautions
• Be sure to disconnect the negative cable from the (–)
pole of the battery before connecting your TDM-
9505RB/TDM-9503R/TDM-9501RM/TDM-9501R to
avoid short circuits.
• Use the correct ampere rating when replacing fuses.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
• Be sure to connect the leads correctly according to the
diagram. Otherwise malfunctioning of the unit and/or
damage to the vehicle may occur.
• Be sure to connect the speaker (–) leads to the speaker
(–) terminal. Never connect left and right channel
speaker cables to each other or to the vehicle body.
• Use only vehicles with a 12 volt negative (–) ground.
Check with your dealer if you are not sure. Failure to do
so may result in fire or electric shock.
• You must be very careful when connecting wires to the
vehicle's electrical system. Be sure you do not use leads
of factory installed components (like an on-board
computer). When connecting TDM-9505RB/TDM-
9503R/TDM-9501RM/TDM-9501R to the fuse box,
make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the TDM-
9505RB/TDM-9503R/TDM-9501RM/TDM-9501R has
the appropriate amperage. Failure to do so may result in
damage to the unit and/or the vehicle. When in doubt,
consult your ALPINE dealer.
• The TDM-9505RB/TDM-9503R/TDM-9501RM/TDM-
9501R uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to
other units (e.g. amplifier) having RCA connections. You
may need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please
contact your authorized ALPINE dealer for assistance.

To prevent external noise from entering the audio system.

• Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10cm away from the car harness.
• Keep the battery power leads as far away from other leads as possible.
• Connect the ground lead securely to a bare metal spot (remove the coating if necessary) of the car chassis.
• If you add an optional noise suppressor, connect it as far away from the unit as possible. Your Alpine dealer carries
various Alpine noise suppressors, contact them for further information.
• Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise prevention measures so consult your dealer for further information.
